Look in Kpackage for them, I'm not exactly sure how they are worded.

[tfubard]

are they already installed on the system?
or do i have to fetch them from a server?

[firebyrd10]

You need to install them,

type
su
root password
apt-get update
kpackage

Then search for 2.6.9

[tfubard]

This is, what i did.

But uname -a gives me 2.6.9 #2 SMP
and i only find header which are named kernel-header-2.6.9-1 or kernel-header-2.6.9-9 ... .
If i install them and run module-assistant a-i -k /usr/src/kernel-header-2.6.9-x ipw2200 it builds the
module, but on loading the module the loader complains about wrong module version.
I can't figure out what are the kernel headers for that knoppix 3.7

Somone other told me to update my kernel-image and install the belonging kernel-headers.
But for my opinioun there have to be somewhere the right kernel-headers too. But where?

Thanks for your time & help

I believed you need to recompile your kernel.
Get the kernel source from kernel.org.
http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm
http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/debian_kernel2.6_compile/index.php

Hmmm...

..this is, what i wanted to avoid.

Thanks.

But another question, why are the kernel-headers not available? Mr. Knopper at least must have them.
Or am i to blind to find?

Knoppix only include kernel header for 2.4.(/usr/src/)
You still can compile your driver if you willing to use kernel 2.4.

:D

[tfubard]

i would be willing. but the module i want to compile (ipw2200) need at least kernel version 2.6.4+

Thanks

Ok,

i solved my problem:

apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.9-1-smp
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.9-1-smp

then
module-assistant -k /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.9-1-smp a-i ipw2200

closed and bye

Why I cannot find the kernel-headers-2.6.9-1-smp use "apt-get",
What is the site in /etc/apt/sources.list? Thanks.
